Deal seems close, can't imagine we'd be that far along now if they had no intention of selling him to us. They sold Havertz to Arsenal and Kovacic to City, don't see why they wouldn't give us Lewis Hall. It's probably only us who can stump up the cash for him as well and they're getting pretty close to being desperate to needing to sell some players.

This is up there in the Top 5 things most likely to happen. Along with someone asking if he's seen that Tonali has been to Wetherspoons and the seaside. And him responding that he's not managed to get there himself as he pretty much lives between home and the training ground, but he's happy the players are getting out to explore the area as feeling settled can only help them on the pitch.

Getting 5th and a wonderful EL run as well. That quarter final lads. So close. Could possibly be what inspired the lad to become a footballer in the first place. I hope young Eddie sees the potential and signs him. You’re welcome. The King never misses. Think I’ll go for a big lunch today. See ya later.

Signing half of the England under 21s at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Was Cucu the smokescreen? If so, canny funny they're continuing to leverage Baldwards' desperation to be relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'm a Tierney fan, but I'm warming to this idea now. I thought this rumour was a bit far-fetched, partly because we seemed to be the only club in for him. I also couldn't see why Chelsea should sell him to a rival. However, there is a Newcastle connection - I see from Wiki (Yeah, I know) that his Dad was a Geordie and the lad grew up supporting the Toon. Also Chelsea have previous in selling to rivals. Their strategy still seems to be incredibly random. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was out gutsy displays in losing 3-0 to Sunderland and 6-0 to Liverpool in consecutive home games that really sold the dream to him.

If he gets anywhere near him then he’ll have done very well and the 30-35m is a no brainer. Definitely has a lot of talent though. We’ve seen with players like Lavia that if you get an underutilized youth player from a top, top academy then the upsides can be huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 For a layman like me, is he more attacking quality than defensive? I'm seeing a lot of praise for forward-thinking skills but not sure what his defensive ceiling is considered to be. Seems a marked change if so, having a full back like that on both sides? I guess even if that's the case that's where Eddie's impeccable tactical and training nous comes in so everyone knows their role and when. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
